Description

Follow-up to T407499#11344606

We need to document the UA policy, so that users know what user agents are considered acceptable when interacting with the platform.

As a first draft we should copy the rules from the WMF (and make them as clear as possible).

A/C:

Engineers write the policy
Valerie to announce it the new policy

Dev Notes

Create the policy at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/Wikibase.cloud/User-Agent_Policy
